PinOaks School organizes family enrichment programmes for the parents of the students as a means of supporting them in carrying out their parenting responsibilities. These programmes are facilitated by the National Association for Family Development (NAFAD) which is the Nigerian affiliate of the International Federation for Family Development (IFFD), a sister non-for-profit organization of the school.

The programme runs for three consecutive Sundays or Saturdays, each one lasting for three hours with a tea break. Couples are encouraged to attend together.

The entire programme consists of ten case studies which deal with different aspects of family life, such as family management, parental care and correction, child delinquency, work and family, peer influences, personality and attitudinal differences, and other relevant aspects of life in the home.

A couple has to achieve at least 80% attendance to qualify for a certificate. Where for important reasons, they have to pull out of the course without completing it, they would be allowed to join another group later to do the case studies they missed. All the necessary information and booking procedure for this course can be obtained from the Administration Office.

The advisory meeting refers to the meeting both parents have periodically with their daughter’s advisor to discuss her progress in school and at home. This is one important forum for parents to rub minds with the teacher appointed to mentor their daughter at school and agree on how best to support her in her academic work and personal development.

The advisory meeting holds once every term. However, parents may request for additional meetings where needed. We emphasize the need for both father and mother to attend every advisory meeting for its effectiveness.
